PBL Lends Itself to Authentic Assessment
Authentic assessment and evaluation allow us to systematically document a child’s progress and development. PBL encourages this by doing the following:
- It lets the teacher have multiple assessment opportunities.
- It allows a child to demonstrate his or her capabilities while working independently.
- It shows the child’s ability to apply desired skills such as doing research.
- It develops the child’s ability to work with his or her peers, building teamwork and group skills.
- It allows the teacher to learn more about the child as a person.
- It helps the teacher communicate in progressive and meaningful ways with the child or a group of children on a range of issues.

The Doctor’s advice
Went to the doctor this evening and he said I’ve gotta take a rest for 2 days at home, but I said that I would have classes to teach. He advised me then not to take a rest, because he thought I wasn’t a teacher. Meaning: teacher’s presence is more needed than others …#oh, really?#

What do you think is the best way to deal with the increasing number of under 13s using social networks like Facebook?As long as it is for communicating with other kids, I think it’s nothing wrong with it, under the parents’ surveillance of course, because sometimes children need to socialize better with others, and sometimes there are things that can be shared only among them, not with the parents. It is needed to strengthen their confidence in facing life and its complicated matters.
